the golden age of hollywood

There are not many older films that can stand the test of time. In my opinion, Comet Beauty can be regarded as the most moving scene in the mirror. It is a classic in film history. At that time, as long as an actor was good-looking and had a little expression, he could be the best actor and the queen, and the "exaggerated acting skills of memorizing lines" in this film were also reflected. I have to sigh that the art of film has developed so rapidly. The landmark film that was a sensation back then seems very exaggerated now.

All About Eve quotes

  • Lloyd Richards: Karen, let me tell you about Eve. She's got everything - a born actress. Sensitive, understanding, young, exciting, vibrant...

    Karen: Don't run out of adjectives, dear.

  • Karen: [narrating] Newton, they say, thought of gravity by getting hit on the head by an apple. And the man who invented the steam-engine, he was watching a teakettle. But not me. My big idea came to me just sitting on a couch. That boot in the rear to Margo. Heaven knows, she had one coming. From me, from Lloyd, from Eve, Bill, Max and so on. We'd all felt those size fives of hers often enough. But how? The answer was buzzing around me like a fly. I had it. But I let it go. Screaming and calling names is one thing, but this could mean...

    Karen: [continues] Why not? "Why," I said to myself, "not?" It would all seem perfectly legitimate. And only two people in the world would know. Also, the boot would land where it would do the most good for all concerned. After all, it was no more than a harmless joke which Margo herself would be the first to enjoy. And no reason why she shouldn't be told about it... in time.

    Karen: [on the phone, calling Eve to let her in on her little "joke"] Hello. Will you please call Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
